Hurley is helping Jin & Michael build a new raft. Guards are posted to prevent sabotage. Michael would like to take along something with which to send an SOS to ships. Jack & Hurley go to Sayid for directions to Danielle's hideout, to get her batteries. Sayid says no.

Flashback shows Hurley at home with his Mom, channel surfing. He comes across a lottery drawing: the winning numbers are 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, & 42 - same as the numbers on Danielle's paperwork.

Flashbacks show Hurley has won the lottery. But his grampa keels over dead at the press conference, the priest gets struck by lightning at the funeral, his brother splits up with his wife and moves back home, he buys himself a yellow Hummer and a mansion for his mom, which promptly catches fire and his mom twists her ankle. Then he's arrested by the cops.

Wow, this really is wierd, almost in a... Waltish way. Everything has pretty much gone wrong... he just bought this house for his mom, and not only did the mom break her ankle, but the house set on fire AND he got arrested by the police when he was calling 911. Now that's some bad luck It's actually a little bit comic, though... At least, I'm hoping that it's supposed to be, as I was laughing at some of bad things that had happened to him

Flashbacks show Hurley talking to his accountant about his money. He's the majority stock-holder in Locke's box company in Tustin! He thinks that the winning numbers were cursed and goes to visit his old buddy Leonard in the psych ward. The numbers are something that Lenny mutters to himself over and over.

Back in the jungle Hurley steps on a pressure trigger just as the other 3 guys catch up with him. He dives out of the way of a big spikey thing.
